Etymology of OVERINDULGE

The word "overindulge" originated from the combination of two root words: "over" and "indulge".

The term "over" is derived from the Old English word "ofer", which meant "above" or "beyond". It has retained its meaning of excess or beyond in Modern English.

The word "indulge" has its roots in the Latin word "indulgere", which means "to yield" or "to be kind or tender". In Old French, it transformed into "endulger", reflecting the same meaning of yielding or granting favors.

So, when these two words are combined, "overindulge" is the result, indicating excessive or beyond a reasonable limit in yielding to desires or granting oneself pleasures.
